Americian's Creed 95 years old

[Platapus]

Did you know that we had an American's Creed?

Yes we do

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

Written by William Tyler Page in 1917. He was the Clerk of the House of Representatives. He started out as a House page in 1881.

Accepted by the United States House of Representatives on April 3, 1918.

What, no mention of God!? That's un-American! Danged socialists...

That Creed was ignored long ago judgeing by those in Office now and in the past.


The new Creed seems to be 'What's best for me'.

Note the exact wording

stablished upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity...

It does not say for whom nor does it say freedom, equality, justice for everyone. Pretty sneaky actually.

Lawyers were just getting started back then.
Those Bastards can find a loop-hole where none exist!
